Students' Perceptions Of Clinical Reasoning Development, Rebecca S. Jensen Jun 2014

Students' Perceptions Of Clinical Reasoning Development, Rebecca S. Jensen

Rebecca S Jensen

Scores on a survey measuring students’ perceptions of clinical reasoning skills were compared across a curriculum and across programs to determine if differences existed. Scores increased significantly from beginning to end of the curriculum; differences between programs, associate (AS) and baccalaureate (BS), were realized; and the survey discriminated among students in three different programs: AS, BS, and registered nurse to BS.


The Effect Of Curricular Sequencing Of Human Patient Simulation Learning Experiences On Students’ Self-Perceptions Of Clinical Reasoning Abilities, Rebecca Jensen Jun 2014

The Effect Of Curricular Sequencing Of Human Patient Simulation Learning Experiences On Students’ Self-Perceptions Of Clinical Reasoning Abilities, Rebecca Jensen

Rebecca S Jensen

It is unknown whether timing of human patient simulation (HPS) in a semester, demographic (age, gender, and ethnicity), and situational (type of program and previous baccalaureate degree and experience in healthcare) variables affects students‘ perceptions of their clinical reasoning abilities. Nursing students were divided into two groups, mid and end of semester HPS experiences. Students‘ perceptions of clinical reasoning abilities were measured at Baseline (beginning of semester) and Time 2 (end of semester), along with demographic and situational variables. Dependent variable was Difference scores where Baseline scores were subtracted from Time 2 scores to reveal changes in students‘ perceptions of …


Clinical Reasoning During Simulation: Comparison Of Student And Faculty Ratings, Rebecca Jensen Jun 2014

Clinical Reasoning During Simulation: Comparison Of Student And Faculty Ratings, Rebecca Jensen

Rebecca S Jensen

A recently developed tool, the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric (LCJR) was used to evaluate nursing students' clinical reasoning during simulated pateint care scenarios. For two semesters, students and nursing faculty completed the clinical reasoning tool after participating in and observing students' reactions to simulated emergent patient simulations. Sores were compared between nursing students and faculty and between programs, associate (AS) and baccalaureate of science (BS). Students' scores differed statistically based on program, BS means greater than AS, but student and faculty ratings were rarely significantly different. Additional research across multiple programs for a larger sample size and additional testing of …
